The second news item concerned one of the most important events scheduled for Saturday of the last week of the month.
It was the conference on the Arcanist Alchemist rank and the proper principles behind choosing a Secondary Alchemy Path.
The conference was intended to prepare the minds of the First-Years, Second-Years, and Third-Years who had already reached the Meister Alchemist rank, as well as those who were still at the Adept Alchemist rank, for the Arcanist Alchemist rank.
It wasn't an ordinary gathering.
Reaching the higher ranks of Alchemy required more than simply increasing one's Cognis reserves or improving one's control.
There were principles and considerations that students needed to understand before attempting to advance further.
The choice of a Secondary Alchemy Path was also an important part of that preparation.
